Dementia Deception

Seniors who fail the fraudulent Simard MD cognitive test, according to this government document are deemed to be suffering from dementia.

This test is not formally recognized by the Alberta Department of Transportation, nevertheless the Alberta Government pays Doctors $75 when they administer the test. This deceptive test has been the cornerstone of the Simard MD and DriveABLE pilot project. This falsehood has disrupted senior’s lives across Alberta under the guise of science, research and safety. It has caused older Albertans to be subjected to sustained elder abuse.
